QConSP 2015 - Day 1

25 Mar 2015

So, here we are. QCon SP 2015 is my first big IT-related conference in a while. Thanks to ilegra - who sponsored me and 3 others to attend (and two others to present) - I’m able to attend to this amazing conference and (try to) absorb some of the insane ammount of knowledge floating around.

Day one’s been good so far. The opening keynote by Jerome Petazzoni entitled “The Docker ecossystem and the future of application development” was really cool. He managed to show in a very short period of time how disruptive the idea behind Docker really is - how is it a revolution and not only and evolution (I’ll post a link to the presentation once it’s available. No spoilers ;] ).

Fourth talk: (lots of stamina during the first conference days ;)Tracking a soccer game with CEP and BigData by Asanka Abeysinghe (@asankama). Really not my field, I ended up attending to this one more for being a soccer (football!) fan than for anything else. The subject was interesting, although it was hard to understand the talk because of sound problems. Another downside was the fact that no code or techniques were shown (besides dummy examples) because of “protected intelectual property”. C’mon!
